Venezuela launches global radio
The Venezuelan government has launched a new public radio network that aims to integrate the global South. Based in Caracas, Radio del Sur has 88 partner stations that will broadcast some of its public interest programming around North, Central and South America, Spain and Africa.
Over a third of Radio del Sur's content will be produced in Venezuela, where its broadcasts currently cover 36% of the territory. The launch follows Venezuela's recent crackdown on private radio stations and the creation in 2005 of Telesur, a television network backed by several Latin American countries.
